September....ALREADY !!!!!!

I cannot believe that today is the September 1st........where has the year gone?? Mind you September is going to be a busy month from what I see written on my calendar!

Coming up on the 12th & 13th is Chillycon, the annual gathering of QRP'ers in Eastern Ontario. Held at Rideau River Provincial Park which is about half way between Smith's Falls and Ottawa. If you can't make it for the full weekend, come on out for Saturday. VA3QV will be there, in person, signing autographs from the back of the "mobile love shack".....don't miss that!!

That same weekend is also SOTA Weekend in North America. So I would imagine the guys at Chillycon will be chasing the SOTA guys up and down the mountains.

The 19th is QRP Afield, the details for this years event have still not been published on line, but I imagine they will be shortly. Details will be found HERE.

And lastly on the monthly calendar is the 2015 Boy Scout Brotherhood Event. Held this year at Morrisburg, Ontario. Details HERE. Our club has been asked to go along and provide an radio display and an operating shack for the Scouts to visit.

It's going to be interesting trying to fit this lot in with the amount of gardening still to be done at this QTH !!
